That's subjective.
To your average person, knitting is a waste of time. For some, it's a passion or a hobby. It has its practical uses.

Entertainment's been around as long as humans have been around. It must serve some kind of purpose if we feel the need to entertain ourselves when we're not slaving away

Almost every Diablo 2 player I know in RL considers farming a boss more than a couple of times to be exploity.

I've had both scenarios. I quit pretty much immediately after maxing my account in OSRS, the dozens/hundreds of hour long item grinds in that game lose all lustre and importance the moment they're no longer helping you towards a grand goal like that.

Try making your own game. Literally anything you can do. You'll never release it and no one will know it dven exist. But it will help you appreciate the effort and passion put into these games.

Pointless since humanity will eventually go extinct which means nobody will be remembered. It's impossible for anything to last in this world.
Believing you have purpose is a kike psyop to lead you to slave your life away in their service just so they can enjoy life's delicacies while you're telling yourself your toiling has any meaning.
Getting a legendary loot in diablo is just as meaningful as your new car.

It gets more insidious, shorts don't have mandatory ads so if you're in the kitchen and need a quick video reference for something you're cooking then it's faster and more convenient to just watch a short if you're on your phone. I know, it's ridiculous. They intentionally make watching a normal video as frustrating as possible because they'll run ads in the middle of a video if you've been on it for too long or rewind too many times. I ended up uninstalling mobile yt like a year and a half ago.

Raiding in wow always felt like a waste of time, unless it was a 10 man and the raid consisted of friends you could actually talk and joke around with while raiding. But 25 or even 40 dudes who barely know each other hanging out in VC and barely even talking to each other while raiding isn't fun.
Raiding for loot isn't fun either, you're lucky if the item you need even drops and even luckier if you're the one who gets it. Then months down the line a new raid comes out and your item is obsolete because now there is better loot! And it's not like you can quit or take a break after that first raid either, no, because now that you are well geared the rest of the guild expects you to come to the next one since you got the good loot and need to put it to good use for the rest of the guild. So you lose no matter what, there is no fun

In a good MMO, your characters should just die once it hits max level in order to save you from the humiliation ritual that is end game content

>>736478187
That's because MMOs are not meant to be entirely cooperative games, you need competition. Usually in the form of PvP.

Basically, fucking up other people is the main goal. Or should be. Everyone's too afraid of that these days.

Pretty much. I would give a shit if there was a larger reason to outside of base survival for me and my parents, but I'd have to accept the very blatant bullshit society projects onto me which is very obviously fake, lame, gay and retarded. So I just do what I have to do to survive and help my parents and entertain myself with vidya when I'm bored.

It's amazing how the architects of modern society don't understand shit literal cavemen did let and every civilization on Earth before the Industrial Revolution did: people will give their lives to a good cause and do it with gusto if it gives them an avenue to make their lies and the lives of their loved ones better and it helps fulfill their basic needs of community, creating a legacy and generally thriving as a human.

>>736475895
Whenever possible, I just use cheats for any game with this sort of RNG-based drop system.
So I've cheated all talismans and other rare drops (like mantles and plates) in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and XX on my hacked 3DS. I just used a save editor on PC and transferred my edited save data to my 3DS.
Otherwise, that's just potentially several dozen/hundreds/thousands of hours just to grind for loot with drop rates in the single digits (in the case of monster drops like mantles) or sub-1% (in the case of actually good talismans). I do the same for later MH games too.
And it hasn't affected how much I played these games either. I still have like 600-700+ hours per Monster Hunter game. It's just that removing the most bullshit RNG allows me to focus on the joy of fighting monsters, instead of rolling dice with each quest or mining nodes (as was the case with the whole Sakura farming method).

IS-7, and the E-100 is far rarer. They only gave out a few hundred as a reward for a tournament a decade ago; technically coupons for may have been won now and then from loot boxes, but I've literally never seen anyone that's bought one; and I'm pretty sure any coupons that do exist are just being hoarded to appreciate in value, and not redeemed (played).
>>
>>736478732
Also, you just run the Maus/E-100 with other 7.3-7.7s in the lineup, and only spawn in it when it's downtiered.

In 6.7-7.7 it's obnoxious, in experienced hands (until it gets bombed, but that's true of anything). IS-7 was great at launch, but good luck getting a 7.3-8.3 downtier in one.
>>
>>736476409
